Wonderful day exploring Sydney.

Leisa was our guide and picked us up at our hotel in Sydney. The day was quite busy but at the same time very relaxed. She was able to balance answering our questions while also providing insightful commentary. Highlights for me was walking across the Sydney bridge, fish and chips at Doyle’s (this was amazing) and the beach around Bondi. But to be honest everything was wonderful. I could not believe we did so much in 6 hrs.

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely feedback, Graham! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you, Bonnie and Bernie and showing you the highlights and hidden gems of Sydney. The Harbour Bridge walk and fish and chips at Doyles are always a favourite — I'm so glad you loved it! Six hours really does fly when there's so much to see. I'd love to welcome you all back when you're next in Sydney! -- Leisa

Sidney in depth

Kori did a great job with touring us through Sidney. Lots of great sights and some wonderful walks, one across the Sidney bridge and the Bondi coastal walk. And Kori came well prepared with a list of restaurants for lunch, bottled water and umbrellas when necessary. A really great day!

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your day exploring Sydney with Kori and getting out for those walks across the Harbour Bridge and along the Bondi coastal path. Thanks again for the lovely feedback, and we hope to see you back in Sydney again sometime 🙂

Fantastic tour

This was an excellent tour which took us to places we wouldn’t have got to on our own. Korhan was an excellent guide, and has really got under the skin of Sydney, sharing all sorts of knowledge with us. A thoroughly safe driver as he navigated through some very narrow streets. Thank you Korhan. We had a fantastic day. Wendy, Bri, Chris & Simon

Operator response

A Great Tour with Daniel

We undertook this experience as a private tour. Daniel was a wonderful guide. He showed us all the major sights in Sydney and also several hidden gems. He turned out to be an excellent storyteller and an expert photographer. The vehicle was in a good condition. On the whole , we fully enjoyed the tour. Thanks a lot to the Daily Sydney Tours and Daniel.
